...battle. “We as rappers need those kind of venues to support our art form.” Jacoby also felt the battle was a step forward. After last year’s failed Snoop Dogg concert and this past fall’s cancelled Wyclef Jean appearance, he’s happy that the battle drew any audience at all.“What it changed, more than anything I think, was the perceptions of the people already involved in the hip-hop scene here at Harvard,” he writes in an e-mail.Liu has high...
...Prefect Program, and the First-Year Social Committee earlier in the afternoon. The meeting, organized by Riley, was the first in a series of meetings with student group leaders about the future of social programming that will be held now through March, Riley said.

Shortly after the UC election, UC President-elect John S. Haddock ’07 acknowledged that although there...
Facing serious failures with Wyclef and last year’s Snoop Dogg concerts, the Harvard Concert Commission (HCC) has taken much criticism and fielded questions about its competence for a good while. This weekend, however, the commission proved that, under the right conditions—and with collaboration—it can deliver on its promises. Saturday night’s Comedy for a Cause event, which was sponsored by the HCC and the Earthquake Relief Coalition (ERC) to raise funds for October’s earthquake in Pakistan, was a resounding success. Not only was the event enjoyable...
